Speaking of Sports The New Britain. Rams will hold & short signal drill at Willow Brook | park tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock as a last preparation for the opening game of tie season tomor- row afternoon against the Thomas- ton Ponies. All members of the squad are asked to be on hand for the workout. In order that fans who are in- terested in the world series game tomorrow might not be inconven- fenced, the scores of the game being played in St Louis will be an- nounced from time to time at the field. ‘. 7 + A game of soccer football will be played at Willow Brook park to- morrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The Swedish American A. C. team of this city will meet the Hartford Soccer club combination. The New Britain Rams will go to New Haven a week from tomorrow to meet the New Haven pro eleven there. A return game will be played sometime in the future in this city. . Although no Herald will be pub- lished tomorrow, Sunday, the world series play will be depjcted as usual on the Herald Playograph. -The _game will start at 2:30 o'clock and the play by play will be received by radio transmission. Justo Suarez, the Argentine lght- weight sensation, defeated Ray Mil- ler last night in New York. He has been hurdling over all obstacles in his path towards a meeting with the leading lightwelghts in the country. It was stated before the recent Bat Battalino-Louis (Kid) Kaplan bout in Hartford that, if Kaplan should win, he would be matched with Suarez for a bout in New York. This hasn't materialized as yet but it ia said that the bout is still in the works. There are those who have seen Suerez in action in the ring and they say that he is an exact dupli- cate of famous lightweight cham- pions who have gone before. They predict that Kaplan will be no match for the Argentine. Be that as it may, Kaplan wants to fight him. He wants to fight any lightweight in the country. But there are few of these lightweights who want anything to do with Xap- lan. If Louis doesn't beat them, he spoils them. A bout between Suarez and Kap- lan would be a “natural” for the Martford club headed by Ed Hurley. Whether there would be enough en- ticement for this match to be brought to the Capital City is a question. The Garden in New York would probably want this fight and it would probably get it. Kaplan has been shunted aside by the powers that be in the fight game. Otherwise, Connecticut might now be boasting another champion in the person of the former unde- feated featherweight title bearer. Tuesday, October 21, is the date et for the annual banquet of the Industrial Baseball league when the P. & F. Corbin team will be hon- ored for winning the championship. Harry Linnehan's committee on arrangements has made out a list of invited guests. Among these will be Mayor George A. Quigley, Donald Bartlett, chairman of the park board; Gerald P. Crean and Joseph Sexton, scorckeepers; Ed Crowley, Mike Lynch, Jimmy Maher, Billy Yitzpatrick, Larry Mangan, Jimmy “ Greene, umpires; Harry Cronin, col- lector at the parks: George Spooner, park policeman; Clyde Ellingwood, superintendent of parks; Arthur Berg, W. . Mangan, James Naugh- ton, members of the park board: Doctor Pot George Rawlings. James Havlick, W. B. Murdock Harry McKeon, members of the athletic committee of the Industrial Council; Robert Wilcox, president of the Industrial Council; Joseph Hergstrom, physical director of the Y. M. C. A, and others, including royal rooters from the P. & F. Cor- , bin_ factory. 4 Managers and members of the teams in the league will also be present. It is expected that about 140 will attend. Tt will be held in the Y. M.-C. A. and Mrs. Kronholm will cater. The committee will meet with the entertainment committee Monday night. New Britain and Hartford are well represented on the Vermont Acade- my football squad, according to a letter received today from Billy Ross, former high school star. On the first team are Nelson at end and Tony Nevulis at tackle, both ot New Britain, Holley at guard of Hartford; Casale of New Britain at center, Bogdanski of New Britain at quarterback and Kenney of Hart- ford at fullback. All the other New DBritain men are fighting for places on the team. Joe Potts, captain of the New Brit- ain high eleven last season is out for & guard position. Billy Ross received a badly twist- ed knee in practice last Monday night and it is feared that a carti- lagg has been. pulled out of place. He will be out of the game for this season at least and he may never play football again. TOU E HOULDERS Columbia, 8, . 4 (UP)— Yarly scrimmages of the Universi ot South Carolina football varsity were held without protection of shoulder pads. Coach Billy Laval believes that the boys should tough- en their shoulders hefore the sea- son proper starts, and then wear vads. CRIPPLE IS NOW - DIXIE GRID STAR Edward “Brv” Boineau Wanted to Be Like Other Boys Columbia, S. C., Oct. 4 (P—Ed- ward “Bru” Boineau, one of Dixie's best halfbacks, is that instead of a cripple because he wanted to be like other boys—and threw his crutches away. Now South Carolina's most dan- gerous running back, Boineau was crippled at 5—crippled for life, the surgeons said. But “Bru” just wouldn't believe it although a knee infection that had threatened to make an amputation necessary had left his leg weak, withered and stiff. Four operations had barely saved the limb and surgeons said he would never walk without crutches. “But Edward,” says his mother, “was always anxious to play with the other boys and .was stubborn gru PoNEsy about it. He threw the crutches away and would hobble from chair to chair, using his leg as much as he could and giving it plenty of exercise."” To everybody's surprise it gained strength and he hobbled to school without crutches. In a few years he was as good as new. Boineau blossomed as a sopho- | more flash at South Carolina in 1628 and was a sensation of a weak eleven in 1929 He accomplished 85-yard dashes against Clemson and Maryland, scampered 50 yards for a touch- NEW 'BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, HIGGINS AT PENN STATE PICITEDAS ALL= By CHESTER L.

MACK WANTS FOUR =525 STRAIGHT GAMES (Two Victories Put Athletics ' Within Reach of Attainment St. Louis,gOct. 4 (UP) Fifty years of baseball have yielded Con- Inie Mack every reward except a |- | world championship in four straight games. . Two straight victories over the St. | Louls Cardinals in the current ser- {ies have placed the 1930 edition of | |the Philadelphia Athleties within |reach of baseball's highest attain- ment, and Connie Mack has resolved ]ofl'enuh’e strength as Mancuso is a | more dangerouse hitter than Wilson. Two other shifts in the Cards'| [lineup would be welcomed by a host | | of Natjonal League supporters. Jim IBollom ey's work at first base thus | far doesn’t merit keeping him in the | | game, with young Ernie Orsattl on | { hand. Bottomley has hit only one | ball out of the infield, and hasn't { been on base in the first two games. 4 Chick Hafey has been woefully ! | weak at the plate, and the report | continues to be heard that he is not see the ball any too well. Switching horse in mid-stream isn't often a wise policy, but the | presedt plight of the Cards would warrant anything to get them out of their slump and as long as Street, is shifting his catchers he bench a couple of his stars have fizzled thus far.

He didn’t have his stuff today, and he’ll | be better the next time he works.” Several times during the season Grove worked on successive days, as a starter one day and a relief pitcher the next. On one occasion he pitchd three days in a row| against the Boston Red Sox, one| complete game and twice in relief roles, winning all three.
